Hi all,

I am looking for a function that receives some text (any text) and displays
it to the user in the same way as the 'help' function does. Unlike 'cat',
that outputs the text in the current window, the one I'm looking for should
work as 'help' that, for example, in emacs ess opens a new buffer, in the
linux terminar displays it as the more command, etc. Is there any function
that does this?

Help is printed by the function

 utils:::print.help_files_with_topic

which is quite a long function because of all the possible ways to display help. You might be able to adapt it to your own needs, though it won't be trivial.
